Edit: Thanks to @Thomas W., it appears that this issue is fixed in 4.4.5.2. Update from the PPA: ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-4
Appears to be a bug as you can see here. There is indeed a workaround (at least for the version 4.1, but same might work for other version too) posted in the comment#15 in the above link. To reproduce it:
For Nautilus users:
Open the .desktop file (such as /usr/share/applications/libreoffice4.1-writer.desktop for LO Writer) and comment the following line: X-GIO-NoFuse=true
For Dolphin users:
Open the same file, and comment the following line: X-KDE-Protocols=file,http,smb,ftp,webdav
-
These line
X-GIO-NoFuse=truedoesn't seem to be present in the.desktopfiles any longer (version 4.2.8.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 here), but the problem remains and therefore can't be fixed by commenting out. Aug 29, 2015 at 5:24 -
1I updated to LibreOffice 4.4.5.2 from
ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-4-4, and now I can open files from ftp shares alright. Aug 29, 2015 at 6:33 -

Another thing I found: When I try to save to FTP, LibreOffice might have to prompt for a password. When canceling this dialog, Writer locks the document as if it was read-only. To work around this, I do a "File => Close", cancel this prompt as well, and the document becomes editable again. Aug 31, 2015 at 5:13

Problem seems to have returned for LibreOffice 5.1.3.2 on Ubuntu 14.04. The
X-GIO-NoFuseandX-KDE-Protocolsare there again, but after commenting them out I get the message "Read-Error. Data could not be read from the file." Jun 7, 2016 at 6:07
